The Boxing Mirror

Escovedo is one of contemporary music's truly original and unique artists, earning him consistent critical hosannas. The breadth and depth of his creativity prompted No Depression magazine to name him its "Artist of the Decade", even before the close of the 1990s!

His acclaimed solo career follows Escovedo's time in a series of influential bands: The Nuns, Rank and File and The True Believers.

Since emerging on his own in the early 1990s, he has released eight albums marked by a stunning variety of music and eloquent lyrical expression, all of them praised by critics for their power, beauty and sophistication.

Rolling Stone critical sage Fricke describes Escovedo as "a folk-blues classicist with a gritty, plaintive voice and an equal fondness for dirty boogie and spectral balladry."

'The Boxing Mirror' is produced by musical master and visionary John Cale.
